Comverter size
Hello guys, I'm new to this forum and just got my first trailer. I'm doing the typical upgrade to two 6v T-105's and I'm also going to upgrade to a IOTA charger. I want to get charge voltages close...

Your on the right track if you want fast charging going with Iota IQ4, we have the same Onan and this converter makes quick work of getting our pair of 6 volt GC2 batteries to over 80% SOC. The other converters linked are also very good but have 13.6 Vdc for absorption and 13.2 Vdc at float which would take a bit longer. It appears PD has pumped up their bulk to 14.8Vdc from 14.6Vdc in previous designs, which is preferred by many battery manufacturers.
The 55 amp Iota would be plenty for a pair of golfcart batteries, even the 45 amp version would do the job nicely, and more than likely stock wire wouldn't have to be upgraded although going with a thicker gauge never hurts. Add some solar, preferably 100 watts per battery, and genny use for mere recharging isn't even required some days depending on DC storage consumption and of course mother nature. This is our setup and we can easily go for weeks without issue.
